Reno-Post War - Roof and Floors

kaindec · Jan 01, 2010 6:38 pm

Hi All

Looking at possibly purchasing a post war home in Brisbane which will need some work done.

Does anyone have an idea on price for restoring the roof, not sure it needs it but want to at least have it looking newish.

Also the cost of ripping up the carpet and turning the floorboards into polished ones.

Any help would be great.

Cheers

We had the roof on our place done with Colorbond - cost $17k, took a week.
Do you know what's on the roof at the moment?

Thanks, currently tiles. I believe they are the original so probably 50 yrs old. The lady has kept it in immaculate and original condition though.

Ahh, if they are still in good condition, then they might be a candidate to get sprayed to restore color into them.

We ripped up our own carpets etc, but the cost of polishing the floors was 2.5k and took about three/four days by a professional.
